JMS wrote 92 of the 110 episodes of Babylon 5, including all of season 3 and 4.
And the other writers were, iirc, freelancers.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

He was pretty burned out by season 5, to put it mildly.

I have not been able to get through a full episode of B5.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
One of the best sci-fi shows of all time. With really quite appalling dialogue.

Compassionately intolerant
Much to my own surprise, I stuck it out with Caprica...in a form where I could ff freely. I have to say that the finale was pretty darned satisfying with the loose ends tying-pitching 'forward' into the BSG storylines.
Not that I need 'tidy' per se, but it was much better than the BSG finale in that it made marginal sense.
I'm actually glad that the series wasn't renewed. I'm not sure how much farther they could have gone with the available world.
So yeah. RIP Caprica.

But if he's enjoyed success to date without needing the stability of a constant bullpen of writers, why not gamble that it will be the same next year?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I just noticed that there are new holiday episodes of Eureka and Warehouse 13 airing this coming Tuesday! I wanted to mention it in case anyone needs to set their DVR.
